high cpu usage pn server
My server's cpu is constantly high. It just started suddenly today. When apache is running, its cpu usage is 70% - 180%. When its stopped, other processes sometimes appear to be taking cpu.
Apache is recompiled several times. Recompilation also takes a lot of cpu.
CPU states: cpu user nice system irq softirq iowait idle
total 189.8% 0.0% 3.8% 0.0% 0.4% 0.0% 5.4%
cpu00 96.3% 0.0% 1.9% 0.0% 0.3% 0.0% 1.3%
cpu01 93.5% 0.0% 2.0% 0.0% 0.1% 0.0% 4.1%
Can you suggest what all could be wrong ??
